Such systems are often referred to as smart systems because they can autonomously monitor and respond to environmental conditions and can be integrated both indoors and outdoors to detect, for example, structural anomalies. However, these systems typically have high energy consumption, data overload, and large equipment sizes, which makes them difficult to install in constrained spaces. Therefore, three challenges remain unresolved: efficient energy use, accurate data measurement, and compact installation. To address these limitations, this study proposes a two-to-one threshold sampling approach, where the CO2 measurement is activated when the specified T and RH change thresholds are exceeded. This event-driven method avoids redundant data collection, minimizes power consumption, and is suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems. The proposed approach was implemented on a low-power, small-form and self-made multivariate sensor based on the PIC16LF19156 microcontroller. In contrast, a commercial monitoring system and sensor modules based on the Arduino Uno were used for comparison. As a result, by activating only key points in the T and RH signals, the number of CO2 measurements was significantly reduced without loss of essential signal characteristics. Signal reconstruction from the reduced points demonstrated high accuracy, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.0089 and root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.0117. Despite reducing the number of CO2 measurements by approximately 41.9\%, the essential characteristics of the signal were saved, highlighting the efficiency of the proposed approach. Despite its effectiveness in controlled conditions (in buildings, indoors), environmental factors such as the presence of people, ventilation systems, and room layout can significantly alter the dynamics of CO2 concentrations, which may limit the implementation of this approach. Future studies will focus on the study of adaptive threshold mechanisms and context-dependent models that can adjust to changing conditions. This approach will expand the scope of application of the proposed two-to-one sampling technique in various practical situations.}, language = {en} } @article{PilgermannWerthCreutzburg2020, author = {Pilgermann, Michael and Werth, S{\"o}ren and Creutzburg, Reiner}, title = {Towards sector specific security operation}, series = {Electronic Imaging}, journal = {Electronic Imaging}, publisher = {Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, address = {Springfield, VA}, issn = {2470-1173}, doi = {10.2352/ISSN.2470-1173.2020.3.MOBMU-254}, pages = {254-1 -- 254-10}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OrlowskiKnauffMarquardt2025, author = {Orlowski, Maximilian and Knauff, Emilia and Marquardt, Florian}, title = {Towards Personal Assistants for Energy Processes Based on Locally Deployed LLMs}, series = {Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence (ICAART 2025) , 2025, Porto, Portugal}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Agents and Artificial Intelligence (ICAART 2025) , 2025, Porto, Portugal}, publisher = {SCITEPRESS}, doi = {10.5220/0013175600003890}, pages = {695 -- 706}, year = {2025}, abstract = {This paper presents a coaching assistant for network operator processes based on a Retrieval-Augmented Gen- eration (RAG) system leveraging open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) as well as Embedding Models.

Especially the use of images to hide malicious code is rising. In consideration of this shift, a new model is proposed in this paper, which aims to help security professionals to identify and analyze incidents revolving around steganographic malware in the future. The model focuses on practical aspects of steganalysis of communication data to elaborate linking properties to previous code analysis knowledge. The model features two distinct roles that interact with a knowledge base which stores malware features and helps building a context for the incident. For evaluation, two image steganography malware types are chosen from popular databases (malpedia and MITRE ATT\&CK®), which are analyzed in multiple steps including steganalysis and code analysis. It is conceptually shown, how the extracted features can be stored in a knowledge base for later use to identify stegomalware from communication data without the need of a thorough code analysis. This allows to uncover previously hidden meta-information about the examined malicious programs, enrich the incident's forensic context traces and thus allows for thorough forensic insights, including attribution and improved preventive security measures in the future.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{QuernerEwerlingKindsmueller2025, author = {Querner, Erich and Ewerling, Philipp and Kindsm{\"u}ller, Martin Christof}, title = {Touch gets it done, tangibles make it fun?

Effective countermeasures require a structured analysis of the communication interfaces and security configurations of individual devices. State of the art: Although Manufacturer Disclosure Statements for Medical Device Security (MDS2, Version 2019) offer relevant information, they are rarely integrated into cybersecurity workflows. Existing studies are limited in scope and lack scalable methodologies for systematic evaluation. Concept: This study analyzed 209 MDS2 documents and 161 security white papers to extract structured information on ports, protocols, and protective measures. Over 52,000 question-answer pairs were converted into a machine-readable format using customized parsing and validation routines. The aim was to establish whether this dataset could inform risk assessments and future applications involving Large Language Models (LLMs). Implementation: The analysis revealed 367 distinct ports, including common protocols such as HTTPS (443), DICOM (104), and RDP (3389), as well as vendor-specific proprietary ports. Approximately 40\% of the devices used over 20 ports, indicating a broad attack surface. OCR errors and inconsistent formatting required manual corrections. A consolidated dataset was developed to support clustering, comparison across vendors and versions, and preparation for downstream LLM use, particularly via structured SBOM and configuration data. Lessons learned: Although no model training was conducted, the structured dataset can support AI-based OT security workflows. The findings highlight the critical need for up-to-date, machine-readable manufacturer data in standardized formats and schemas.

According to many model systems, myosin motor-induced local contractions of initially isotropic actomyosin cortices are nucleation points for generating cortical flows. However, the positive feedback mechanisms by which spontaneous contractions can be amplified towards large-scale directed flows remain mostly speculative. To investigate such a process on spherical surfaces, we reconstituted and confined initially isotropic minimal actomyosin cortices to the interfaces of emulsion droplets. The presence of ATP leads to myosin-induced local contractions that self-organize and amplify into directed large-scale actomyosin flows. By combining our experiments with theory, we found that the feedback mechanism leading to a coordinated directional motion of actomyosin clusters can be described as asymmetric cluster vibrations, caused by intrinsic non-isotropic ATP consumption with spatial confinement. We identified fingerprints of vibrational states as the basis of directed motions by tracking individual actomyosin clusters. These vibrations may represent a generic key driver of directed actomyosin flows under spatial confinement in vitro and in living systems.}, language = {en} } @article{RuzankinaMukhinMermouletal.2022, author = {Ruzankina, Iuliia and Mukhin, Nikolay and Mermoul, Ali and Parfenov, Vadim and Fron, Eduard and Ferrini, Gabriele}, title = {Surface optical sensitivity enhanced by a single dielectric microsphere}, series = {Optics Express}, volume = {30}, journal = {Optics Express}, number = {24}, publisher = {Optica}, pages = {43021 -- 43036}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Single dielectric microspheres can manipulate light focusing and collection to enhance optical interaction with surfaces.

In Georgia, cervical cancer ranks as the fifth most common cancer among women, with approximately 330 new cases and 200 deaths reported annually. Despite the availability of effective HPV vaccines, national vaccination coverage remains low. This study aimed to evaluate HPV vaccination coverage, analyze cervical cancer incidence trends, and model the potential impact of increased vaccination uptake on cancer prevention outcomes in Georgia. Study design A retrospective observational study was conducted using national health registry data and modeling projections to assess the burden of cervical cancer and estimate the effect of scaled vaccination coverage. Methods National health databases were used to analyze HPV vaccination rates and cervical cancer incidence. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and linear regression were applied to identify trends and disparities. Additionally, a dynamic transmission model was developed to simulate the 10-year impact of increasing HPV vaccination coverage on cervical cancer incidence. Results The crude cervical cancer incidence rate was 15.7 per 100,000 women, with an age-standardized rate of 10.6 per 100,000. In 2022, only 38 \% of eligible girls aged 13-18 received the first HPV vaccine dose, and 26 \% completed the second dose. Regional disparities in vaccination and screening were noted, and overall screening coverage declined to 13,890 women screened in 2022. Modeling showed that increasing vaccine coverage to 60 \% could reduce cervical cancer incidence by 50 \% (preventing ∼163 cases); coverage of 80 \% and 90 \% could reduce incidence by 70 \% and 85 \%, preventing 228 and 276 cases, respectively. Conclusion Low HPV vaccination uptake in Georgia (38 \% first dose and 26 \% dull coverage) and declining screening limit cervical cancer prevention. Modeling shows that increasing vaccination coverage to 60-90 \% could prevent 163-276 cases over the next decade. Strengthening vaccination and screening strategies is essential to move forward elimination.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{PepeLasenbyBuchholz2024, author = {Pepe, Alberto and Lasenby, Joan and Buchholz, Sven}, title = {STAResNet: A Network in Spacetime Algebra to solve Maxwell's PDEs}, series = {arXiv}, journal = {arXiv}, publisher = {arXiv}, pages = {1 -- 17}, year = {2024}, abstract = {We introduce STAResNet, a ResNet architecture in Spacetime Algebra (STA) to solve Maxwell's partial differential equations (PDEs). Recently, networks in Geometric Algebra (GA) have been demonstrated to be an asset for truly geometric machine learning. In [1], GA networks have been employed for the first time to solve partial differential equations (PDEs), demonstrating an increased accuracy over real-valued networks. In this work we solve Maxwell's PDEs both in GA and STA employing the same ResNet architecture and dataset, to discuss the impact that the choice of the right algebra has on the accuracy of GA networks. Our study on STAResNet shows how the correct geometric embedding in Clifford Networks gives a mean square error (MSE), between ground truth and estimated fields, up to 2.6 times lower than than obtained with a standard Clifford ResNet with 6 times fewer trainable parameters. STAREsNet demonstrates consistently lower MSE and higher correlation regardless of scenario. The scenarios tested are: sampling period of the dataset; presence of obstacles with either seen or unseen configurations; the number of channels in the ResNet architecture; the number of rollout steps; whether the field is in 2D or 3D space.

ALAN attracts nocturnal insects from their native ecosystems and disturbs their functions in the food web. Road lights in this context are ubiquitous and relevant ALAN sources that are often not considered in conservation approaches. In a previous study we showed that shielded LED road lights are suited to be part of conservation measures by effectively reducing the attraction of nocturnal insects. Here we show that this positive effect holds true for parasitoid wasps in an experimental BACI design (Before-After-Control-Impact). Combining morphological with molecular and phylogenetic analyses, we identified 106 individuals (62 morphotypes) of a minimum of 45 genera out of 13 Hymenoptera families. We were able to identify 21 species, 11 of which are newly reported in Southern Germany (Baden-W{\"u}rttemberg). Further combining knowledge on life history and host appearance from our data and the literature, we discuss potential impacts of ALAN ranging from an influence on nocturnal pollination via parasitoid pressure on moth species and biological control of invasive pest species to tritrophic interactions between primary and secondary parasitoids. We conclusively think that shielded LED road lights will reduce the ecological impact of ALAN on parasitoid wasps in a large and undescribed number of taxa with different host associations, likely affecting associated ecosystem functions such as biological control.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{QuernerEwerlingKindsmueller2025, author = {Querner, Erich and Ewerling, Philipp and Kindsm{\"u}ller, Martin Christof}, title = {Setting the Stage for Collaboration: A Multi-View Table for Touch and Tangible Map Interaction}, series = {Mensch und Computer 2025 - Workshopband : MCI-WS11: 18th Workshop "Be-greifbare Interaktion".

The luminaires are individually tailored to only emit light onto the target area and to reduce spill light. In addition, a customized shielding renders the light source nearly invisible beyond the lit area. We show that these novel luminaires significantly reduce the attraction effect on flying insects compared to different conventional luminaires with the same illuminance on the ground.

Thereby, HR practitioners often listen to their guts feeling instead of using more systematic HR practices that are, as research evidence shows, more effective for attracting, motivating and retaining talented staff. This paper elaborates on the question how SMEs may profit from the design and implementation of evidence-based, systematic HRM instruments. The analysis focuses on the antecedents of the so called science-practitioner gap in HRM and why it is even more pronounced in SMEs as compared to larger companies. As a conclusion, we find that SMEs need to design HRM instruments that are systematic and evidence-based in their approach, but can be used by HR practitioners on an intuitive basis without ex ante training or cumbersome formal procedures. However, designing HRM instruments based on a so-called "walk-up-and-use" approach means beating new paths. Given the scarce resources for people management in SMEs, such innovative HRM instruments cannot be developed by a single SME alone. Therefore, the paradigm of open cooperation as it has been successfully applied in open source software (OSS) development is evaluated , in particular whether it can be transferred on the design of HRM instruments that take into account the specific needs of SMEs. First of all, we conceptualize a general framework how HR practitioners from SMEs and HR experts from business and academia can jointly develop Open HRM instruments. Then we discuss the social side of Open HRM, in particular why someone should contribute to Open HRM without receiving immediate profits, how to ensure the quality of openly developed HRM instruments and other gov-ernance issues.

Many celestial objects like stars and galaxies as well as transient phenomena such as comets and supernovae can be observed in the night sky. We discuss the furthest distances of such objects and phenomena observable with the naked eye during the night-time for Earth-bound observers. The physics of night-time visual ranges differs from that of daytime observations because human vision shifts from cones to rods. In addition, mostly point sources are observed due to the large distances involved. Whether celestial objects and phenomena can be detected depends on the contrast of their radiation and the background sky luminance. We present a concise overview of how far we can see at night by first discussing the effects of the Earth's atmosphere. This includes attenuation of transmitted radiation as well as its role as a source of background radiation. Disregarding the attenuation of light due to interstellar and intergalactic dust, simple maximum night-time visual range estimates are based on the inverse square law, which can be easily verified by laboratory and demonstration experiments. From the respective calculations, we find that individual stars within the Milky Way galaxy of up to 15 000 light years are observable. Even further away are observable galaxies with several billion stars. The Andromeda galaxy can be observed with the naked eye at a distance of around 2.5 million light years. Similarly, the observability of supernovae also allows a visual range beyond the Milky Way galaxy.

Erstes wichtiges Ergebnis ist, dass es in keinem Bereich jemals eine einzige ›richtige‹ Definition von Syntax und Semantik geben kann, sondern einen Katalog von vielf{\"a}ltigen theoretisch m{\"o}glichen und in der Praxis auch angetroffenen Varianten. Diese sind durch ihre Remodellierung exakt identifizier- und benennbar; ihre Gesamtheit bildet ein Raster, durch das Notationsstile und -werkzeuge beschreib- und vergleichbar werden. Dieses Raster und die Remodelle sind besonders politisch wichtig, zur F{\"o}rderung einer {\"o}ffentlichen Diskussion von Notationssystemen und ihren Eigenschaften, da zunehmend die Arbeitsweise von digitalen Werkzeugen die notationelle Praxis zu {\"u}berformen und zu filtrieren droht. The project semPart - Semantics of the Musical Score tries to clarify the semantics of musical notation by applying methods from informatics. This is done by remodelling, i. e., constructing small mathematical models that mimic the mentally and culturally determined processes taking place when decoding isolated parameters in musical notation. The first important result is that there can never be one single 'correct' definition of semantics in any area but rather a catalogue of many theoretically possible variants encountered in practice. Through their remodelling, these can be precisely identified and named; their totality constitutes a classification grid applicable to styles, corpora, single scores and digital tools such as editors or encoding standards. This grid and the remodels are of particular political importance in promoting a public discussion on notation systems and their characteristics, given that the increasing use of digital processing systems threatens to over-shape and narrow down notational practice.}, language = {de} } @article{PreethamSataStannariusPuzyrev2025, author = {Preetham Sata, Sai and Stannarius, Ralf and Puzyrev, Dmitry}, title = {Machine learning for prediction of dynamical clustering in granular gases}, series = {EPJ Web of Conferences}, volume = {340}, journal = {EPJ Web of Conferences}, editor = {Alam, M. and Das, S.L. and Bose, M. and Murthy, T.G. and Chikkadi, V. and Singh, A. and Luding, S.}, publisher = {EDP Sciences}, doi = {10.1051/epjconf/202534012012}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Continuously excited dense granular gases in microgravity can develop spatial inhomogeneities of the particle distribution.

We perform Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations for frictional spheres in a cuboid container and apply statistical criteria to the packing fraction profiles. Machine learning (ML) methods are used to study the dependence of the gas-cluster transition on system parameters.

The objective was to assess whether a modular, Large Language Model (LLM)-driven agent system could autonomously correlate device metadata with known vulnerabilities and existing exploit information to support structured threat modeling. The architecture follows a static RAG design based on predefined prompts and fixed retrieval logic, without autonomous agent planning or dynamic query adaptation. The developed Vulnerability Intelligence for Threat Analysis in Medical Security (VITAMedSec) system operates under human-prompted supervision and successfully synthesizes actionable insights and exploitation paths without requiring manual step-by-step input during execution. Although technically coherent results were obtained under controlled conditions, real-world validation remains a critical avenue for future research. This study further discusses the dual-use implications of such an agent-based framework, its relevance to patient safety in medical device cybersecurity, and the broader applicability of the proposed architecture to other critical infrastructure sectors.

Despite extensive work, the superconducting pairing symmetry in La3⁢Ni2⁢O7 remains unresolved, with conflicting results even for identical methods. We argue that different superconducting states in La3⁢Ni2⁢O7 are in close competition and highly sensitive to the choice of interaction parameters as well as pressure-induced changes in the electronic structure. Our study uses a multiorbital Hubbard model, incorporating all Ni 3⁢𝑑 and O 2⁢𝑝 states. We analyze the superconducting pairing mechanism of La3⁢Ni2⁢O7 within the random phase approximation and find a transition between 𝑑-wave and sign-changing 𝑠-wave pairing states as a function of pressure and interaction parameters, which is driven by spin fluctuations with different wave vectors. These spin fluctuations with incommensurate wave vectors cooperatively stabilize a superconducting order parameter with 𝑑𝑥2-𝑦2 symmetry for realistic model parameters. Simultaneously, their competition may be responsible for the absence of magnetic order in La3⁢Ni2⁢O7, demonstrating that magnetic frustration and superconducting pairing can arise from the same set of incommensurate spin fluctuations.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Schiller2024, author = {Schiller, Carina}, title = {IN-FDM-BB Werkstattbericht: W 1.2.3 Gemeinsamer Lessons-Learned-Bericht zu Beratung}, publisher = {Zenodo}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.13349762}, pages = {15}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Die Beratung von Forschenden spielt eine zentrale Rolle bei der Umsetzung und Etablierung des Forschungsdatenmanagements (FDM) im Forschungsalltag.

The physiological effects of abrupt exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN) on migratory fish, such as the light experienced passing near illuminated infrastructures, remain poorly understood. This study investigates the physiological responses of brown trout (Salmo trutta) smolts to low-intensity (0.02 lx) and short-term (30 s) ALAN, simulating nocturnal migration light conditions near illuminated bridges. To evaluate the influence of social dynamics, trout were tested individually (solitary) or in groups of six. Using continuous cardiac monitoring with data storage tags, alongside analyses of oxidative stress markers and adenylate kinase (AK) activity in the heart, we identified distinct patterns of physiological responses. Solitary fish exhibited significant heart rate variability (HRV) increases following repeated ALAN exposure, suggesting impaired physiological regulation under repeated ALAN exposure. In contrast, trout in groups displayed consistently lower HRV over the entire 90-min experiment, implying that social dynamics likely influenced a sustained oxidative stress response, corroborated by increased AK activity. Oxidative stress markers further reflected social effects, with significant upregulation of key antioxidant enzymes (sod1, sod2, gpx1, gpx4) and elevated lipid peroxidation, identifying lipids as primary oxidative targets. The observed divergence between superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and sod gene expression suggests adaptive post-transcriptional regulation to maintain redox balance under combined environmental and social stress. These findings reveal that social dynamics under ALAN can amplify physiological stress, potentially affecting migratory outcomes.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{TranconyWidemannLepper2024, author = {Tranc{\´o}n y Widemann, Baltasar and Lepper, Markus}, title = {Imagine There's No Source Code: Replay Diagnostic Location Information in Dynamic EDSL Meta-programming}, series = {MPLR 2024: Proceedings of the 21st ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Managed Programming Languages and Runtimes}, booktitle = {MPLR 2024: Proceedings of the 21st ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Managed Programming Languages and Runtimes}, editor = {Ertl, M.

Subjective estimates differ widely, ranging from just a few to a maximum of above two hundred. Explanations are based on the emission spectra of the stars, which are modified by interstellar dust clouds, the Earth atmosphere, and mostly the inverse square law. Color changes occur not only for variation of the star's angular elevation above the horizon, but as well for decreasing nighttime sky brightness due to the transition from photopic via mesopic to scotopic vision. The maximum number of stars showing color to the naked eye depends on star illuminances on Earth and the background sky luminance. The limit of observing color is found to correspond to apparent visual magnitudes around , defining the number of colored stars. This also means that naked eye perception of stars with color is only possible for a certain star distance range, which is well below the maximum naked eye visual range of stars.}, language = {en} } @article{Vollmer2025, author = {Vollmer, Michael}, title = {How far can we see at day?}, series = {European Journal of Physics}, volume = {46}, journal = {European Journal of Physics}, number = {3}, publisher = {IOP Science}, doi = {10.1088/1361-6404/adc4a0}, pages = {17}, year = {2025}, abstract = {We discuss the farthest objects on Earth observable for the unaided, healthy naked eye during the daytime, i.e., the maximum visual range for observers on Earth. Visual range depends first on the properties of the material between observer and object and its interaction processes with radiation, but second also on our visual perception system. After a rough comparison of ranges in water, glass, and the atmosphere, we focus on the physical basis of visual range for the latter. As a contrast phenomenon, visual range refers to allowed light paths within the atmosphere. It results from the interplay of geometry, refraction, and light scattering. We present a concise overview of this field by qualitative descriptions and quantitative estimates as well as classroom demonstration experiments. The starting point is the common geometrical visual ranges, followed by extensions due to refraction and limitations due to contrast, which depend on scattering and absorption processes within the atmosphere. The quantitative discussion of scattering is very helpful to easily understand the huge ranges in nature from meters in dense fog to hundreds of kilometers in clear atmospheres. Extreme visual ranges from about 300 km to above 500 km require optimal atmospheric conditions, cleverly chosen locations and times, and a sophisticated topography analysis. Even longer visual ranges are possible when looking through the vertical atmosphere. From the ISS, daytime ranges well above 1000 km are possible.}, language = {en} } @article{DickersonAndreasNoessleretal.2026, author = {Dickerson, Ashton L. and Andreas, Jechow and N{\"o}ßler, Michelle and Walles, Tim J. and Berger, Stella A. and H{\"o}lker, Franz and Nejstgaard, Jens C.}, title = {High-resolution in situ imaging reveals size-specific moonlight responses in zooplankton diel vertical migration}, series = {Scientific Reports}, volume = {16}, journal = {Scientific Reports}, number = {1}, publisher = {Nature}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-026-36105-0}, pages = {1 -- 14}, year = {2026}, abstract = {Light is the primary cue driving zooplankton diel vertical migration (DVM), a strategy that balances predation risk with resource access. However, DVM is often oversimplified, with limited consideration of how light-driven risks and resource needs vary across taxa and life stages. This simplification is partly due to constraints on collecting high-resolution, size-resolved data —especially at night, when subtle shifts in illumination reshape nocturnal risk landscapes. To overcome these limitations, we deployed a high-resolution in situ modular Deep-focus Plankton Imager and an image-recognition approach to quantify fine scale DVM and body sizes of Cladocerans and Copepods in Lake Stechlin, Germany. Data was collected from day into night and across moonrise and was compared with environmental data from vertical profiling sondes. Typical DVM patterns emerged, with deeper daytime distributions, however, moonlight introduced additional behavioural complexity: larger individuals avoided illuminated layers, likely managing predation risk, while smaller individuals moved into these layers, possibly exploiting foraging opportunities and reduced risk. These light-mediated shifts were further shaped by ecological conditions; copepods tracked food-rich layers regardless of light levels at night, while cladocerans showed light-dependent responses to both temperature and food, such that light caused them to avoid otherwise favourable (warm, food-rich) layers. Our approach provides new insight into how zooplankton navigate nocturnal lightscapes, revealing size- and taxon-specific strategies. By establishing size-dependent responses to natural moonlight, this work provides a crucial baseline for predicting how artificial light at night may restructure zooplankton communities and destabilize freshwater food webs.}, language = {en} } @article{HarthTrittelMohammadietal.2025, author = {Harth, Kirsten and Trittel, Torsten and Mohammadi, Mahdieh and Puzyrev, Dmitry and Enezz, Mohammad and Cruz Hidalgo, Raul and Stannarius, Ralf}, title = {Granular gases of rough spheres: Velocity, rotation and collision statistics from in-situ measurements, optical data and simulations}, series = {EPJ Web of Conferences}, volume = {340}, journal = {EPJ Web of Conferences}, editor = {Alam, M. and Das, S.L. and Bose, M. and Murthy, T.G. and Chikkadi, V. and Singh, A. and Luding, S.}, publisher = {EDP Sciences}, doi = {10.1051/epjconf/202534003012}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Granular gases are not only of interest in fundamental physics, but they can also serve as a test ensembles for the validity of collision models employed in (loose) granular matter.

Electrical characteristics (dielectric permittivity, tunability and losses) of as-prepared and annealed in oxygen medium samples were investigated at microwaves. According to structural analysis, the synthesized samples are a mixture of KFeSi glass, ferroelectric BaTiO3, and dielectric barium polytitanates; the ratio of the latter determines the electrical properties of the composites. Depending on the content of barium titanate, the studied composite samples show a permittivity from 50 to 270 with a dielectric loss level of 0,1-0,02 in frequency range from 3 to 10 GHz.

Although many important common and rare genetic factors causing or contributing to these epilepsies have been identified in the past decades, many features of the genetic architecture are still insufficiently understood. This study integrates genome-wide association study (GWAS) data from the International League Against Epilepsy Consortium on Complex Epilepsies with transcriptome-wide association studies to identify genes whose genetically regulated expression levels are associated with epilepsy. Methods To achieve this, we used multiple computational approaches, including MAGMA, a tool for gene analysis of GWAS data, and its derivatives E-MAGMA and H-MAGMA, to improve gene mapping accuracy by utilizing tissue-specific expression and chromatin interaction data. Furthermore, we developed ME-MAGMA to incorporate methylation quantitative trait loci data, providing insights into epigenetic factors. Results We identified a total of 897 false discovery rate-corrected (<.05) candidates. These include voltage-gated calcium channels, voltage-gated potassium channels, and other genes such as NPRL2, CACNB2, and KCNT1 associated with epilepsy pathogenesis that act as key players in neuronal communication and signaling in the brain. Significance In this study, we propose new candidate genes to expand the dataset of potential epilepsy-causing genes. Further research on these genes may enhance our understanding of the complex regulatory mechanisms underlying GGE and other types of epilepsy, potentially revealing targets for therapeutic intervention.}, language = {en} } @article{Schnitzer2021, author = {Schnitzer, Julia}, title = {Generative Design For Creators - The Impact Of Data Driven Visualization And Processing In The Field Of Creative Business}, series = {Electronic Imaging}, journal = {Electronic Imaging}, publisher = {Society for Imaging Science and Technology}, address = {Springfield, VA}, issn = {2470-1173}, doi = {10.2352/ISSN.2470-1173.2021.3.MOBMU-022}, pages = {022-1 -- 022-6}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @article{RizunBordeanNikiforovaetal.2026, author = {Rizun, Nina and Bordean, Ovidiu Niculae and Nikiforova, Anastasija and Beleiu, Ioana Natalia and Revina, Aleksandra}, title = {Generative AI in higher education: Ethical and behavioral factors influencing students' intentions to use ChatGPT}, series = {Computers and Education Open}, volume = {10}, journal = {Computers and Education Open}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.caeo.2026.100336}, pages = {1 -- 16}, year = {2026}, language = {en} } @article{MarcusGerlGrossetal.2022, author = {Marcus, von der Heyde and Gerl, Armin and Groß, Rainer and Klapper, Frank and Meister, Vera G. and Knaden, Andreas and Rehm, Simone}, title = {Gemeinsame Digitalisierung durch die Entwicklung von IT-Governance-Strukturen auf Landesebene}, series = {Wirtschaftsinformatik \& Management}, journal = {Wirtschaftsinformatik \& Management}, publisher = {Gabler}, doi = {10.1365/s35764-022-00393-8}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @article{Vollmer2021, author = {Vollmer, Michael}, title = {Gefrierende Gew{\"a}sser}, series = {Physik in unserer Zeit}, volume = {52}, journal = {Physik in unserer Zeit}, number = {1}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, doi = {10.1002/piuz.202001589}, pages = {19 -- 25}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{PepeLasenbyBuchholz2024, author = {Pepe, Alberto and Lasenby, Joan and Buchholz, Sven}, title = {GA-ReLU: an activation function for Geometric Algebra Networks applied to 2D Navier-Stokes PDEs}, series = {ICLR 2024 Workshop on AI4DifferentialEquations In Science, Wien, {\"O}sterreich}, booktitle = {ICLR 2024 Workshop on AI4DifferentialEquations In Science, Wien, {\"O}sterreich}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Many differential equations describing physical phenomena are intrinsically geometric in nature.

GA networks however, are still mostly uncharted territory. In this paper we focus on non-linearities, since applying them to multivectors is not a trivial task: they are generally applied in a point-wise fashion over each real-valued component of a multivector. This approach discards interactions between different elements of the multivector input and compromises the geometric nature of GA networks. To bridge this gap, we propose GA-ReLU, a GA approach to the rectified linear unit (ReLU), and show how it can improve the solution of Navier-Stokes PDEs.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Nitze2023, author = {Nitze, Andr{\´e}}, title = {Future-proofing Education: A Prototype for Simulating Oral Examinations Using Large Language Models}, publisher = {arXiv}, doi = {10.48550/arXiv.2401.06160}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2023}, abstract = {This study explores the impact of Large Language Models (LLMs) in higher education, focusing on an automated oral examination simulation using a prototype.

A sphere suspended in a discharging silo experiences both weight of the overlaying layers and drag of the surrounding moving grains. In experiments with frictional hard glass beads, the force on the obstacle was found to be practically flow-rate independent. In contrast, flow of nearly frictionless soft hydrogel spheres added drag forces which increased with the flow rate until reaching saturation at high flow speeds. The total force grew quadratically with the obstacle diameter in the soft, low friction material, while it grew much weaker, nearly linearly with the obstacle diameter, in the bed of hard, frictional glass spheres. In addition to the drag, obstacles embedded in the flowing hydrogel spheres experience a weight force from the top as if immersed in a hydrostatic pressure profile, but negligible counter-forces from below. In contrast, the frictional hard particles create a strong pressure gradient near the upper surface of the obstacle. Numerical simulations provide additional information that is difficult to access experimentally. They reproduce the experimental results and give hints for the origin of the different force contributions. The results have considerable practical importance for the discharge of storage containers with large objects suspended in flowing granular material.}, language = {en} }
